Hawaiian Coasters 325

When I rode blue Racer yesterday, I saw a bunch of holes dug out in the clearing!

Now I was thinking. Even though it's not likely Vortex will be removed anytime soon, I actually think a ground up RMC would fit well in The Vortex plot of land. I was thinking a ground up topper track woodie. I was thinking some type of car theme since it's in Coney Mall right by the antique cars and the jukebox diner. Similar to Lightning Rod's theme. Or they could theme it around The Beast since it's right by The Beast. Again, I don't think Vortex will be removed anytime soon, but just an idea.

Here's an idea. What if the lack of teasing IS teasing! This is like an Area 51 project! It's Top Secret!

If this is legit then it won't be at night because I just looked at the KI hours and on the 14th they close at 8 pm. I was thinking now they'll make the announcement around noon. Or they could make it around 8.

Found this video all the way from 2002 when CP was building TTD. Didn't announce it until January 2003.

Sitting here binge watching this video by @DustinTheNow. It looks like it'll definitely be an amazing ride and will be a hit with the GP. Also, I wonder how this will affect the lines for Diamondback.

How about a Cincinnati Reds themed coaster with a Reds themed area!

I was thinking what if they year down Invertigo and Congo Falls and reuse the station of Invertigo.

It already went vertical

**DOUBLE POST** I rode blue Racer and it seems like they already have a ton of footers dug out. I saw it on the turnaround.

Don't we have a runway kinda hidden in the ground, but able to see from Firehawk?

Like FOF. Also, I like how the Xbase plaza is lit up at night. I wonder if they add some cool lighting to make the plaza better at night when this new coaster opens!

Here's a little concept I made on what an teaser/announcement poster could be like. Note: this was made by me and not by the park so this is NOT me trolling like other people have done.

Banshee is usually pretty empty because of capacity being high. I actually know a lot of GP who really enjoy Banshee. In fact, Banshee this year from what I have seen has had longer lines this year than past years.

On space theme topic, my church is doing a space theme VBS this week! Here is one of the decorations. Also, the LED lights in the background is the same color as our track!

Someone told me that he thinks the name will be Zodiac which was a former ride at Kings Island. Zodiac is also mentioned in the antique cars posters. Zodiac also has stuff to do with space.

I'm wondering now is what would the height of this coaster be if they were building it on a higher elevation? Also sorry for double post

One thing I thought of is this drop would be only like 5 feet shorter than Leviathans drop which I've watched povs of Leviathan and the drop looks amazing on that, so I'm guessing you won't notice too much of a difference between this and Leviathans drop.

265 feet is the lower deck. 275 feet is the top deck. 296 feet is about 20 feet higher than where you are standing on the tower if on the top deck. If on lower deck, it's about 30 feet higher. I'm guessing this giga and WindSeeker from viewpoint would look about the same height wise.

I wonder if they will classify it as a hyper or a giga coaster. YouTube comments seem to be mixed. I'm leaning towards giga because the drop is 301 feet and the park stated they asked CF for a giga coaster. So it's basically "they asked for a giga, they got a giga!" Simple.

If I remember correctly, GateKeeper didn't really have a teaser campaign. I think the only teaser was on Disaster Transport's final mission poster where it had the light blue feather logo talking about the future.

They'd market it as a 301 foot drop if I were to take a guess. Heck, maybe they'll just say it's 301 feet tall when only the drop is 301 feet tall.

Speaking of theming for this coaster, I hope they go all out in theming for this kinda like Copperhead Strike. The Quonset hut in the queue says prop building on the blueprints, so hopefully that means some type of prop. Like maybe a spacecraft prop could be inside it. Maybe could be part of the reason they aren't going all out in the coaster stats and layout because of them spending a good amount of money on the theming.

I'm sure opening weekend for this ride will be crazy busy if the weather is nice like the openings for the last two coasters. I wonder if they'll use the chaos building as an overflow queue like how they used the crypt building for MT. But that probably won't be enough. If I were to take a guess, the line will stretch to the Eiffel Tower.
